(h) Do not bind 100VAC and 24VDC wires together with main 
circuit (high tension and large current) wires or I/O signal lines 
(including common line) nor place them near each other. 
Provide 100mm (3.94 inch) clearance between the wires if 
possible.
(i) As a countermeasure to power surge due to lightening, 
connect a surge absorber for lightening as shown below.
(2) Wiring to I/O device
(a) The solderless terminal with insulation sleeve is inapplicable to 
a terminal block.
It is advisable to cover the wire connection part of a terminal 
with a mark tube or insulation tube.
(b) Install wiring to a terminal block using the cable of core 
diameter 0.3 to 0.75mm

, and outside diameter 2.8mm or less. 
(c) Run the I/O line and output line away from each other. 
POINT
(1) Separate the ground of the surge absorber for lightening (E1) from that of the 
programmable controller (E2).
(2) Select a surge absorber for lightening whose power supply voltage does no exceed the 
maximum allowable circuit voltage even at the time of maximum power supply voltage 
elevation.
